Dbm   A   E   Gbm   Ab A   B   E



Verse 1:
E             Abm              A                 E       B
When you come down, will you stay the night with me?
                                     E
Or are you gonna leave before the morning light?
E             Abm              A                 E       B
When you come down, will you come to my front door?
                                      E
Or are you gonna knock softly at my window?

Chorus:
             Dbm       A                    E
'Cause I am tired of living like we are strangers
Gbm                       Ab A    B       E
Just to walk down the street in broad daylight
             Dbm       A                    E
'Cause I am tired of living life in the shadows
Gbm                        Ab       A       B     E
Don't know where I'll go, but I'm leaving here tonight


Verse 2:
E             Abm              A                         E       B
When you look down from your house on the lights of the city
                            E
Do you try to guess which light is mine?
E             Abm          A              E       B
When you come down, I won't be here any longer
                                        E
There will be a note for you under my front doormat


Chorus:
             Dbm       A                    E
'Cause I am tired of living like we are strangers
Gbm                       Ab A    B       E
Just to walk down the street in broad daylight
             Dbm       A                    E
'Cause I am tired of living life in the shadows
Gbm                        Ab       A       B     E
Don't know where I'll go, but I'm leaving here tonight

Gbm                        Ab       A       B     E
Don't know where I'll go, but I'm leaving here tonight


Notes:
-The Ab to A transition in the chorus is quick beat; you can definitely hear it in the
song, but if you're a novice (like me) and the transition is a little quick, you can skip the Aflat and just
land on the A
